Technically, this park is now called 6 Flags Discovery Kingdom but for us, it will always be Marine World Africa USA. Imagine a park themed around Sea life AND Jungle life with real animals, shows AND tons of rides & roller coasters with a little water park and petting zoo thrown in. The girls LOVE this park because it embodies all the things they love the most...animals, water, rides, play parks, treats, running free, sunshine and time with their daddy. We went for a fun day on Friday and took Papa with us. Unfortunately Papa was the official photographer and we don't have a single picture of him. Sorry Papa, but we're glad you came with us. Here are probably way too many pix of us at the park.
Jessica doing some window shopping. We ended coming home with this new Annie the Zebra and a matching Harry the Elephant for Katie. They are gigantic and the girls have been doing nothing but playing safari, feeding Harry peanuts (honey roasted) and having Baby Annie ride Big Annie's back.
Mike on Harold the Helicopter ride with Katie (waving) and Jessica
At the Shooka The Killer Whale show, the trainers have the whale demonstrate different whale calls over the microphone. Well, Katie decided she could do a whale voice and was convinced if she did her whale voice loud enough that Shooka could hear her. She really thought she was talking to Shooka. I swear, it was like she was 13 at a Hannah Montana concert. She freaked out! (in a good way)
Here is Shooka diving (I'm sure because Katie commanded him to in her whale voice)
Jessica has a moment of pure joy at the Dolphin show. When the dolphins would spin around in the air she would scream and kick the lady in front of us and squeel with delight. The lady probably didn't appreciate it but we sure thought it was funny!
Coming down the big slide together!
Jessica on the merry-go-round riding her favorite animal, a Zebra. We had to go on this twice in a row.
Katie on the merry-go-round riding her favorite animal, an elephant. They couldn't believe that they were riding a carousel that had a zebra and elephant right next to each other. The entire time they were doing zebra and elephant sounds and saying YEE HAW at the top of their lungs.
